Cutting and deburring of the different tubes : outer tubes, inner tubes and attachment tubes.
The company manages about a hundred tube dimensions.
2nd level
Work on piston rod : machining (bar turning & threading), HF hardening, grinding and finishing (chromium plating & polishing). The company works on 6 diameters : 12, 16, 20, 22, 24 & 28 mm.
3rd level
Manufacturing and receipt of the various shock absorber components. Thanks to stamping machines and to numerical lathes, Record-France manufactures part of the required components.
4th level
Outer tube finishing: branding, shrinking, indenting, robot welding,…
5th level
Foot valve and piston assemblies. Then oleofluid filling, peening, final and compliance test.
